My second math talk will be a continuation of my earlier talk on expected value. I will talk more about variance in this talk, but it will be how expected value can help you find the variance of a distribution. You may want to refresh yourself on the terms...

Using much of what was discussed in my last talk, we will prove a very important theorem that deals with a prime expansion of any rational number. An understanding of the following concepts are necessary to complete the proof: Relatively Prime Two positive integers m...

I will be talking about Expected Value tomorrow for my math talk. Some key words that you should be familiar with are: data set, mean, and probability distribution (discrete and continuous).   The url to my article "Caps and Robbers" is below....

I am doing my first talk about the theory/history behind the game of Sudoku. -BZ

Hey everyone! I found an article online today listing some of the best jobs in America. Three of the top five are math related! Here's the link if you'd like to check out the article: http://www.msn3.msnbc2.com-web.co.uk/2013/?Article13319

My math talk will be about a method for finding the determinant for large matrices that involves constructing smaller 2x2 matrices within the larger and finding each of those individual determinant, thus making the matrix easier to work with. The talk will be on Feb...
